, mma/nfkff,

tions as shall fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

l. In a device of the class described, the combination of anelectromagnet, enclosing means therefor, yieldable Wire-retaining meansin said enclosing means, and Wires extending into said enclosing meansin engagement with said yield ,able wire-retaining means and connectedto said electiomagnet.

In a device of the class described, the combination of an electromagnet,enclosing means therefor, yieldable wire-retaining means within saidenclosing means contiguous to an end of said electromagnet, and Wiresextending through said yieldable wire-retaining means and connected tosaid electromagnet.

3. In a device of the class described, the combination of anelectromagnet, enclosing means including a cap with a dome for saidelectromagnet, wiremretaining means movably mounted within the dome ofsaid cap, and wires operably engaging said wire-retaining means andccnnected at their inner .ends to said electromagnet.

4f. In a device of the class described, the coinbination of a casingprovided with a cap, an electi'oinagnet in said casing, a yieldablewire-retaining device within said cap, above said electromagnet, andwires extending through said cap and yieldable retaining device andfastened to said electromagnet.

5. In a device of the class described, the combination of a casing, acap threaded at its lower end into said casing, said cap comprising abody portion provided with a dome, said body portion provided with ahorizontal, outwardly projecting annular flange, said iiange providedwith a plurality of horizontal slots, closure means in the outer ends ofsaid slots, a wire-retaining device within said dome, saidwire-retaining device comprising an apertured disk body with outwardlyand downwardly extending spring ngers, said spring fingers provided withouter fiat ends seated in said slots, and wires extending through thedome of said cap and through the apertures of said disk and connected tosaid electromagnet.

6. In a device of the class described, the combination of a casingprovided with a domed cap, an electromagnet within said casing, averticallye movable shock absorbing device in said cap, and wiresextending through said cap and ixedly engaging in one direction saidshock absorbing device and being fastened also to said electromagnet.

HENRY G. STEPHAN.
